Pyro MI Fire Survival Cable System
This provides the ideal solution to many difficult and demanding wiring installations making a permanent and dependable wiring cable system for all low and medium voltage applications. Safe in hazardous installations and radioactive environments. Exceeds all worldwide fire performance standards. The Pyro MI Cable System is the natural choice for domestic, commercial and industrial applications.
Fire survival
Pyro MI, tired, tested and approved worldwide.
Pyro MI Cable Systems were installed when fire broke out in the Channel Tunnel in November 1996. Resisting extreme temperatures that destroyed concrete and welded rails, the Pyro MI Wiring Cable allowed emergency lighting to operate for the safe evacuation of passengers; proving its superior fire survival capability.
Pyro MI range
The standard range of Pyro MI Cable provides the ideal solution for almost all electrical circuits in the low voltage category.
Two voltage grades - 500 and 750 Volts, are available with conductors from 1.0 mm² to 240 mm².
A full range of complementary accessories and tools provides a complete wiring system supplied and supported by the “Genuine Pyrotenax” component assurance.

Pyro MI benefits
Pyro MI construction
-
Pyro MI survives the fire test requirements for enhanced grade cables as defined in BS 5839: part 1.
-
Peace of mind from the third party (LPCB) approval for categories C, W and Z in BS 6387.
-
Also attains categories C, W and Z of BS 6387 with one single cable sample.
With a basic inorganic construction of a copper sheath and conductors, together with a mineral insulant, the cable provides a unique combination of dependability, versatility and permanence.
This construction, with the melting points of 1083°C and 2800°C for the copper and the insulant respectively, provides the unsurpassed Fire Survival properties which enable the cable to continue to carry current at temperatures in excess of 1000°C.

Quality Certification
LPCB Cert No. 063
Terminations
Pyrotenax Terminations are tested in accordance with BS EN 60702: Part 2. Pyrotenax Terminations are Certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Glands - Baseefa08ATEX0327X and
IECEx BAS 08.0107X Increased Safety Seals - Baseefa02ATEX0194U
Pyrotenax cable drums, reels and termination packaging are
marked with the CE mark as required by the low voltage directive, except for Terminations primarily intended for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres which are not marked, because the directive does not apply.
